Standard home elevators are similar in design to commercial passenger elevators. They have a full cabin and automatic sliding doors, offering a high level of comfort and safety.<\/p>

Our Una Series<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a perfect example. It\u2019s powered by a steel belt traction system<\/strong>, delivering smooth rides with low noise. It includes many safety features, such as emergency stop, over-speed protection, and power-off auto-leveling.<\/p>

Platform elevators are designed to work in homes with limited space or structural restrictions. The biggest advantage? They don\u2019t need a pit or a traditional shaft, which makes them easier to install in existing buildings.
Our SEVA Series<\/a><\/strong> are compact, stylish models. It also use steel belt traction technology, so you get the same stability and energy savings as a standard home elevator, but in a more space-efficient form.<\/p>
